About the grade
BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) is a small broken leaf. It gives up its colour and flavour quickly, so the brew is strong.
How to brew
Spoon about 2 g (one level teaspoon) into the pot for each cup. Add freshly boiled water, steep for 3 to 5 minutes, then strain. Drink it plain or with milk.
Storage
Keep the pack folded closed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from strong smells.
